Prayer In the Night by Tish Harrison Warren

Seasons of Sorrow by Tim Challies

A Hole In the World by Amanda Held Opelt

Getting Grief Right: Finding Your Story of Love in the Sorrow of Loss by Patrick O'Malley, PHD with Tim Madigan (not crazy about the title, really love the book)

I also read Hope is the First Dose

This one is different, as it's about vision loss, but I think it's worth mentioning - The Beauty of Dusk: On Vision Lost and Found by Frank Bruni

Thanks Caryn!

I'll have to follow up on some of these. And I appreciate the inclusion of a book on grief other than death. Because that's grief, too.

The Challies book is after the death of a son. I wonder how it connects with Lament for a Son. And, having read both Challies and Lee Warren, how do those interact because of being after the sudden death of young adult sons?

Thanks for helping the thinking.

Jon
